I am having problem with mounting.. I bought iOmega Storage box ix200. I shared a folder from iOmega box for 10 users.

I mounted this shared drive in all 10 Virtual machines by editing /etc/fstab file. After rebooting the drive got mounted. But when a user accessing it and tries to create a new file it shows lock symbol on it.

But if i try to access this drive from Menu - Location and, from there put File server IP and do then i am able to create a file without lock symbol. It's opening read-only for all the users.

This is happening for all the users except 1 user. If i assign that user then its working fine. Can someone guide me what may be the issue.

    The lines that you use to mount your shares would be nice... Dec 31, 2012 at 16:16
  • Please add to your question the output of the following commands: cat /etc/fstab, mount and ls -ld $(mount | cut -d ' ' -f 3)

May be there is a problem in fstab entries. Check out 4th column for mount options and ensure that it is not in ro. That means read-only. If it is so, then change it to rw- read write.
